This week we took a look at some rather…misguided comments about being gay from Kenny Chesney and Kanye West.

We also took note of the possible new feud between Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh, and celebrated National Condom Week.

And we checked in with the American Family Association’s ongoing boycott of PepsiCo for refusing to ’stay neutral in the culture war’, which is now complete with an official Boycott Pepsi website.

This week we praised Sarah Haskins, explained the difference between sex work and traffcking, took a look at what the new RNC chair is planning, celebrated women in sports and reminded everyone to wear red for women.

We decided to start the new year off right... er... well, okay. Here's a look back at our January, for those of you who may have missed it. We started off January by celebrating the end of holiday shopping season by making fun of Kay's Open Hearts necklace. We noticed Amazon's Best Books of 2008 were lacking in estrogen, but we're happy to report that reality TV seems to be starting '09 off on a good note (or at least a 'so-bad-it's good' note). George W. Bush is out of the White House, but he is still a moron. (And the Republicans have some good news and bad news all their own). Barack Obama was inaugurated as our 44th President (even if he is "only half black") and he's bringing with him a pretty cool administration, including Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State and Aretha Franklin as Secretary of Awesome Hats! We've got a pretty big to-do list for President Obama, including our Top 10 Choice Wishlist (he already fulfilled #1 - overturning the Gag Rule) and getting rid of the Defense of Marriage Act once and for all!

It's your last chance to buy election-themed items before Tuesday... (and it's our last chance to shamelessly promote them). Here are some of our recent political products... The images here are just a sampling of items available, click on an image for more of each design.



You can't just trade one female candidate for another. Sarah Palin is NOT Hillary Clinton. Sarah Palin is NOT good for women. The best vote for women is not to vote for "the woman", but to vote for Obama/Biden. Vote with your brain, not your vagina. If you supported Hillary Clinton, then you should vote for Barack Obama in 2008. Maybe you'll get to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2012.






You can put lipstick on Sarah Palin, but I'm still not voting for her. Dress this campaign up however you like... but McCain/Palin are still bad for America.


In response to Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani's comments about Barack Obama and community organizers in general... they're wrong and they suck. We think community organizers are important so we're showing them some love.

Voting registration deadlines are coming up in almost every state, with some only a couple of days away. (In some states the deadline is October 4th - that's this Saturday!)

So if you haven't registered yet...what are you waiting for? Go! Do it right now! We'll wait here.

Now!!

Register!!!

The members of the ESC are all big fans of Bitch magazine, and Bitch needs our help right now. They have been affected by the economy and the declines in the magazine publishing industry and they're facing a financial crisis. The current issue of Bitch may be the last one if they can't raise $40,000 by October 15th.

First the bad news: The print publishing industry as a whole is staring into a void. Across the board, newsstand magazine sales are in a slump, subscriber numbers are down, and paper and postal costs continue to rise. But it's not magazines like US Weekly or Vogue that you'll see disappearing from the newsstands—they have the parent companies and the resources to weather industry ill winds. It's the small, independent magazines like Bitch that will disappear, because the odds are already stacked high against us. And simply put: We need to raise $40,000 by October 15th in order to print the next issue of Bitch.

Now the good news: While it's true that $40,000 is a lot of money, we know the number of you Bitch supporters is in the hundreds of thousands. And we're asking each of you who values independent, nonprofit media and intelligent feminist cultural analysis to contribute what you can to ensure that Bitch thrives. And while we can't say what form Bitch will take in the future (our direction will depend, in part, on your feedback), we can say that we've been hard at work to find an innovative publishing model that will allow us to maintain the spirit and integrity of Bitch while also reflecting the changing world around us.

As a nonprofit, reader-funded media organization, our fate really is—and always will be—in your hands. We don't need a parent company. We just need you!

 

The Bitch team has put together a funny (and sad) video about why they need help and what you can do, so check it out. Cute dogs and wiener jokes are involved, so you can't resist. Just watch.





In this world of abstinence only sex ed and Sarah Palin and Miley Cyrus and gay marriage bans and Jordin Sparks calling people sluts and anti-choice groups calling everyone sluts and on and on, we need magazines like Bitch to help us stay informed and stay sane. Feed the Bitch today!

Dear Sarah and Rudy,

In response to your comments about Barack Obama and community organizers in general: You're wrong and you suck.

Fuck off, haters.

Sincerely,

the Evil Slut Clique


PS: Show your support for your community organizers with a t-shirt or other item from our newest cafepress stores...

Well this is it... Summer is over.

This has been a busy summer for the Evil Slut Clique!!

What we've been up to:

We started the summer off right with a trip to the IWWG summer conference... and a look at the Sexies.

We wrote about two awesome events... the Planned Parenthood Summer, Sex and Spirits fundraiser and the Bust 15th Anniversary party. (For more upcoming events, check out our calendar and feel free to contact us with any events you'd like us to add).

Since we're apparently totally into "all the gayness"... we celebrated California's landmark decision regarding same sex marriage, mocked the protests against McDonald's, and and said goodbye to Del Martin.

This summer we were also totally into the Olympics and (as always) reality TV!

We looked at what "Pro-Life" Isn't with two new blogs Rock for Life and What We Deserve.

And did a three-part series on Viagra and Birth Control:
-Bill O'Reilly Loves Viagra
-Why Insurance Companies Cover Viagra and Not Birth Control
-Viagra v. Birth Control: The Debate.

We're getting ready for Fall, by providing our readers with two back-to-school shopping blogs Broke to School and The ESC's Guide to Shopping for College Students. And don't forget that Halloween is quickly approaching!!

Also of massive importance this Autumn... is the upcoming election!
-Dumb Things John McCain Doesn't Say
-Better Luck Next Time
-Fatal Attraction
-Women Speak at the DNC

(You can expect a slew of McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden inspired blogs soon).

Other stuff you might have missed this month...

-We stirred up some major trouble over at UnMommy over a debate about the "pregnant man".
-We reported the inevitable break up of New York's favorite Internet couple.
-We wondered just how much it would cost to buy the rights to 50 Cent's life story.
-We congratulated Kathy Griffin for getting off plastic surgery.
-We saw Maria from Coyote Ugly out at a bar.
-We decided to buy a spy phone and a puppy!

Check out our other blogs:

Over at the comic blog, I Read While He Plays Video Games, we laughed at our crazy couple, dissected their relationship, and then broke them up!

At our more serious blogging venture, the Good Authority we addressed not one, but two abortion myths (post abortion syndrome and abortion as a lucrative industry.

This summer Chiquita told us everything we ever wanted to know about Frida Kahlo in another installment of her Art Series. Stay tuned for a new installment, on Ana Mendieta... but in the meantime, if you can't wait for more potassium-enriched goodness, you can check out the lovely musings on her own blog The Strangest Banana of All.

Stay in touch!

Be sure to check out our June, July and August archives for all the blogs you missed this summer. And as always you can subscribe to our blog in a number of ways... through myspace, RSS feed and now email!

Hell froze over this summer, as the ESC actually joined facebook! (Oh the shame)... you can become a fan here. And as always, if you'd like to become a member of our totally exclusive message forum, just email us for an invitation!

STAY EVIL STAY SLUTTY!

Because the ESC has joined facebook.


Oh the shame.

We know we said we'd never ever ever do this, but we got so many requests from our evil slutty readers/friends, that we had to do it.

So you got what you asked for... now you can add yourself as a 'fan' of our profile.

EvilSlutopia.com on Facebook

We will still keep the myspace obviously, but we didn't want to alienate all of you facebook users as well. We're still getting the hang of how to use facebook, but definitely add us and write on our wall, start a discussion or whatever else weird things facebook lets you do.

Stay evil, stay slutty!

Hope you've all been having an evil slutty summer... The summer is half over, but there's still tons of evil sluttiness left!

It seems that the dumbest question we got this month was "What's with all the gayness?" But speaking of gayness, this summer we did another Super Gay Link Roundup and looked at the whole totally gay McDonald's stupid protest not once, but twice. (Because McDonald's is apparently just too gay for only one blog entry!)

There was more Reproductive/Choice stuff (from both ends) again... with some Pregnancy News and a second installment of Dumb Things People Say to Pregnant Women... as well, as Pro-Life Isn't and a Planned Parenthood fundraiser: Summer, Sex and Spirits (stay tuned for a review of that event... once we finally recover from all that wine).

In the on-going saga of I Read While He Plays Video Games.... We took a brief moment to celebrate the Fourth of July and discuss the upcoming election, but really devoted most of our time to the totally dysfunctional relationship of our two main characters...
* More Good Advice
* All You Need Is Love
* Love Hurts
* Dumped

There is so much more in store for these two, so please stay tuned!

Also in July:
We made fun of Brooke Hogan (well, come on, who hasn't?), called Mike Savage a douchebag, and wondered why John McCain just won't answer a damn question. We also added a new Evil Slutty Barbie to our wishlist and brainstormed some new ways to use our evil sluttiness for a Good Cause.

Also another awesome installment of Chiquita's Art Series on Frida Kahlo. Check out the July 2008 Archive.

There's a lot more good stuff coming in August... so stay tuned!! You can expect some more 'hijinks' over at the comic blog as our unhappy couple deals with their breakup, a rant about hypocrisy (don't you just love those?) and possibly another Abortion Myth uncovered by The Good Authority.

Keep checking in! You can now subscribe to our blog online through a Feedburner feed OR through email!! (Special shoutout to May for A. being awesome and B. telling us how to do that!)

Ah.. it's finally summer... time to lounge at the beach, get a tan, have a barbecue, complain about how hot it is, drink too much beer (well, it's always time for that!)

Of course, you can't spend all your time outside... so don't miss the awesome month we have ahead of us at Evil Slutopia!

First off, let's look back at June 2008...

We tackled the Reproduction issue from three different angles...

CONTRACEPTION --- The Pill Kills?, our opinion on the totally false claims made by the American Life League that birth control pills "kill babies"

PREGNANCY --- Pregnancy Discrimination, which is about just what it says, pregnancy discrimination (because despite what many anti-choicers would have us all believe, choosing to carry a pregnancy to term does not automatically transport you to a magical land free from stress and problems where you are automatically treated with the respect that your life-giving self deserves).

ABORTION --- Not one, but TWO new installments to our "Abortion Myths" series over at The Good Authority blog... Myth: Post Abortion Syndrome (a totally made-up non-syndrome) and Myth: Abortion is a Lucrative Industry.

On the increasingly popular GAY/MARRIAGE theme...
-California Gay Marriage in Pictures
-Dumb Bitch Double: Gay/Marriage...
-gay sex in the city (because when your parents think you're gay and your kids are giving you advice on same sex marriage laws, then you've officially reached 'awesome').

Also in June:
-The Sexies (Sex Positive Journalism Awards)
-Another Stupid Protest: Fashion Police (about Rachel Ray's ugly scarf)
-Evil Sluts & the International Women's Writing Guild (about our most awesome weekend writing retreat)
-Jenny's Journey (please read this one and try to help if you can!)
-Good Advice, a comic from I Read While He Plays Video Games...

...AND WE POSTED THE FOLLOW-UP TODAY: More Good Advice

There's a lot more good stuff coming in July... so stay tuned!! Keep checking in! Or just subscribe to our RSS Feed.

If you're looking for something good to read off line (now why would you want to do that?)... check out some of our book lists and 'literary' blog entries for beach-reading suggestions!

--Evil Slutopia Reading List
--IWWG
--Chelsea Handler
--Lance Bass
--Beyond Chick Lit
--Women's History Book List

STAY EVIL STAY SLUTTY!

Email us for an invite to our private message forum!

We received a comment on our second Gardasil entry Ten Things You Might Not Know About Gardasil and wanted to pass it on so all of our readers can see it and hopefully help...

The 11th thing that people may want to know is at

http://jenjensfamily.blogspot.com

If anyone knows of ANY cases that are comparable to this suspected Gardasil reaction, PLEASE contact the family before time runs out for Jenny.

Apparently Jenny is a 14 year old with rapidly progressing paralysis. Over the last year she has gone from being fully healthy to having very minimal motor ability. Her family is looking for other people with similar symptoms in an effort to to find an effective method of treatment.

(Some doctors suspect that the HPV vaccination she received in 2007 may be linked to her paralysis, although they are still trying to determine a specific cause).

So May is almost over... but you can still catch up on what you missed by checking out our May 2008 Archive. This month you missed a gay old time!

Literally, gay...
International Day Against Homophobia was on May 17th, which was just perfect timing considering all the gay-related stuff that's been happening recently...
California overturned a ban a same-sex marriage and New York has started to recognize same-sex marriages. The Isles of Lesbos sued that other kind of lesbian, in what may be one of the dumbest lawsuits ever. And Tango Makes Three topped the most challenged book list and we brought you a very incomplete pictorial history of same-sex marriage.

Other stuff from May:
-Another Choice Update
-Chiquita's Art Series examines Madame X... as well as Lilith and Jezebel (NEW Today!)
-Bloggers Unite for Human Rights
-A stupid protestabout coffee and a good protest about a stupid person
-Robyn's new music video

There were also three comics posted this month over at I Read While He Plays Video Games...
-Ready for Change
-Keep Hope Alive
-Ladies Who Lunch (introducing a new crazy character!)

And of course, a huge research piece over at the The Good Authority on the Abortion-Breast Cancer Myth.

Stay tuned for June!!

In other news:
Over at the Evil Slutopia message forum (email us for an invite! anyone is welcome, but we require that you contact us prior to registration)... the evil sluts have been talking about a lot of stuff... but we'll just share the Reality TV stuff because it's the silliest.

Tyra Banks recently crowned America's Next Top Model's first ever winning plus-sized model... and surprise! She's barely plus-sized!
Tyra made a point of saying, "It's not plus-sized, it's FULL-FIGURED model!" Probably because Whitney (who wears a size 10 -- omg, that is skinny in my book) is smaller than Tyra...and Tyra ain't no plus-sized model! --The Bearded Lady

Denise Richards has proven Charlie Sheen to be the more responsible and reasonable parent (which just can't be good) by subjecting her kids to reality TV...
It was her mother's dying wish for her to do this reality show. WTF. I don't know what's more messed up... the possibility that Denise Richards would lie about something like that OR the possibility that her mother's dying wish was for her to do a reality show. -- Lilith

And of course, we're all talking about Top Chef (and are totally excited for a possibility of a first-time-ever all-female season finale of Top Chef)...

Spike confuses me. Sometimes like him others I want to practice my own filleting techniques on him. --Kunoichi
the red head guy is waaaay too much of a spaz. You could make a drinking game out of his eye bulges, jitteriness, and head nods. --MadHatter
I'm still not totally over the fact that Ilan the douchebag actually won his season. --Jezebel

And finally, it wouldn't be an Evil Slutopia Update if we didn't tell you about some random cool events going on...

Tonight, the Pine Box Boys are performing at the Horseshoe Saloon in Chicago.

June 1st - Radio Free Bakersfield presents the Spahn Ranch Dance Party at Safari Sam's (Brunch/noon) and Maui Sugar Mill Saloon (8pm), California... Also on June 1st, PFLAG, Queens has organized a Queens LGBT Pride Parade (in Jackson Heights).

Northern State is coming to NYC on June 3rd (Knitting Factory). Also on June 3rd...Falling in Love with Mike Bochetti (screening and stand-up comedy) at Comix.

June 5th-7th: Burlesque Hall of Fame at the Palms Casino, Las Vegas.

June 7th: Long Island Roller Rebels bout (against the Hudson Valley Horrors) at Skate Safe America, Old Bethpage.

STAY EVIL STAY SLUTTY!
-THE EVIL SLUT CLIQUE

What's Up with the Evil Slut Clique

We've been crazy busy this month, but we're still trying to provide our readers with the best evil slutty blogs possible! We took some time off to celebrate Bea Arthur's birthday on the 13th (you know we're huge Golden Girls fans - they are almost the original ESC).

We're currently working on something for International Day Against Homophobia (May 17th) and of course, have to address the most recent news from California (a ban on same-sex unions was overturned).

Meanwhile at the Message Forum...

We're talking about:

Men and HPV again... (Or at least Adam is, ha!) and the fact that America's Next Top Model actually chose a plus-size model for once in ten cycles! (Although she's hardly as plus-sized as most women, she's still not anorexic-looking which is a shocking change for ANTM)... and of course, Yogurt!

Email us at evilslutopia@Yahoo.com for an invite to the message forum!

So we got through the first week of May without alcohol poisoning. Not bad. You may not know this, but Jezebel and Lilith aren't the only brains behind this whole Evil Slutopia operation. Sure they're awesome, but the real magic happens when they team up with Corona! Lilith + Jezebel + Corona = Genius. (Lilith + Jezebel + Tequila is a whole other thing. We'll tell you that story another time).

So of course Cinco de Mayo was a very successful day for the Evil Slut Clique.

Here's just a brief sampling of the tons of drunken notes that get written on bar napkins and random men's business cards when the three of us team up:

on a break

stop in the name of love

gay = happy

relatity TV (we actually really wrote "relatity" - no one ever said the Corona made us smarter!)

ski trip

guys with tattoos

Spencer & Heidi

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to us sober either. But you can trust that we'll be coming up with some awesome blog entries in the near future based on some of our drunken ramblings.

Meanwhile... this week at the blog:

What If I'm Nothing Like Her?
Ready for Change?
Island of Lesbians?

THIS WEEK AT EVIL SLUTOPIA

We finished up Women's History Month on the 31st with a brief photo history: Happy Women's History Month! and then we TOTALLY FOOLED YOU with our April Fool's Day prank: The ESC's Legal Troubles and comic The Lawsuit.

And just in case you were still worried about the comic's "indefinite hiatus", we brought I Read While He Plays Video Games back with a vengeance by posting three comics in a row... Awareness, Awareness II and Awareness III.

Today's blog The "Awareness" Link Roundup was a return to serious issues, because while we may joke about awareness in the comics, we do try to stay aware of what's going on in the world.

We tried to cover as much as possible of women's history, but of course, there's soooooooooo much that it was bound to spill over into the next month. To continue with this year's theme for Women's History Month, Women's Art: Women's Vision, look forward to some awesome posts on the subject from everyone's favorite potassium-laden guest blogger, Chiquita.

Also stay tuned for even MORE "Awareness" comics on I Read While He Plays Video Games! (Yes, we can continue to milk this topic a little bit longer - just you wait and see).

And like we said last week... we have some new entries of Dumb Bitch Parade coming soon!




What's Happening Outside of Evil Slutopia?


IN THE NEWS:

If you really want some interesting newsbytes check out today's blog entry The "Awareness" Link Roundup, but for some other recent stuff that we likely won't be covering on the blog...

Charlton Heston died Saturday night at age 84 at his home in Beverly Hills, CA. (CNN.com)

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a 5-year, $50 million reauthorization of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The good news is that a provision requiring 1/3 of funds to go to abstinence only programs was removed; the bad news is that the bill still requires prevention program funding to be "balanced" between abstinence, fidelity, and condom programs.

A new law in Madison, Wisconsin - the Safe Housing Act - will allow domestic abuse victims to break rental agreements and leases without penalties (making it easier for victims to leave abusive relationships)
And apparently blogging can be hazardous to your health. All the more reason why we should be getting paid for this and deserve your attention/sympathy.

What's Happening at Evil Slutopia?

We rocked Women's History Month!... We set out to post something (and something meaningful and relevant) EVERY DAY in March and we succeeded. (Fuck NaNoBloMo). We recommend checking out our March '08 Archive to catch up on what you've missed. Let Women's History Month last all year long! (To subscribe to our blog on myspace, click: here)


SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MONTH
(that is, what our statcounter tells us were your favorite March blog entries)...

Betsy Ross
Anti-Women History: The ESC Obscurity Wish List
Beavis and Butthead are Feminists

(Go figure).

Also very popular this month - not surprising - was Search Keyword "Spitzer". Hmm. Bored now.

And of course... always popular, never-going-away, and no longer being plagiarized by misguided Christian websites... Our Top Pages of all time: 10 Things You Might Not Know About Gardasil and 10 More Things You Might Not Know About Gardasil


UPDATE ON THE LAWSUIT: WE GOTCHA!!
Also VERY popular was the post about our fake lawsuit... The ESC's Legal Troubles... Considering that post was only a day or two old, it still got a LOT of action. I guess this means our readers really do care about us. Luckily it was just a prank and no one is suing us. I Read While He Plays Video Games will never die!!!

Visit The Good Authority for the real scoop and of course, read our newest comic: The Lawsuit


SOME APRIL TEASERS:
We don't have a set theme for April so you can expect this month's blogs to be on a variety of subjects that we love to write about and we know you love to read about.

Definitely be on the lookout for some more installments of the comic!! (In case you still haven't gotten it - there's no "indefinite hiatus"! We've got new stuff coming soon!!)

And we have some new entries of Dumb Bitch Parade coming too!!

Since Rock of Love 2 (yawn) narrowed down to the final 3 this Sunday (and is finally starting to get a little bit interesting - just a little bit) we'll probably have to say something about it again before the month is up. And it's possible we'll continue to cover the upcoming elections (you know, if anything actually happens).

April is also Sexual Assault Awareness Month and STD Awareness Month - so it's possible we'll be posting something rape or STDs. Of course, we always write about stuff like that, so that's not much of a teaser. It also happens to be Welding Month, but don't expect a blog entry on that okay? (We hope we haven't offended any evil slutty welders out there).



What's Happening Outside of Evil Slutopia?


April 2: Today is Kick Butts Day, a day to stand out, speak up, and seize control in the fight against Big Tobacco.

April 3: Always funny and sexy Margaret Cho is bringing her "Beautiful" tour to the Capitol One Bank Theatre (960 Brush Hollow Road) in Westbury, NY this Thursday.

April 4: There's a benefit for Big Brothers Big Sisters this weekend at the Draught House (151 E. 3rd Street) in Winona, MN featuring a ton of bands, including our sexy myspace friends Harsh Reality.

April 5: The Long Island Roller Rebels face the Dominion Derby Girls in a bout this Saturday at Skate Safe America (182 Bethpage Sweet Hollow Rd) in Old Bethpage, NY
